Health Republic Insurance of New York was a not-for-profit health insurance cooperative in New York State.

Health Republic was created as one of 23 Consumer Operated and Oriented Plans, known as CO-OPs, established under the Affordable Care Act to increase competition in the marketplace and give consumers a voice in their healthcare.[1] Health Republic began selling insurance plans to individuals and small groups, both on and off the NY State of Health marketplace, in October 2013.[2]

During the 2013-2014 Open Enrollment period, Health Republic captured the largest marketshare on the New York State of Health marketplace.[3] It became the largest CO-OP in the country during this period.[4]

In September 2014, Health Republic members were able to vote for Member Directors on the CO-OP's Board of Directors, with nine members ultimately elected from across the state, making up a majority of the Board.[5]

For 2015, Health Republic expanded its service area by 11 counties upstate to a total of 43 counties statewide;[6] added two new products: an out-of-network plan for small groups[7] and a higher-deductible plan for individuals;[5] and expanded its provider network in the Albany area[8]

On September 27, 2015, Health Republic announced that it would begin the processes of ceasing operations, effective immediately.[9]
